Civilization 2

[Psyche]

Anyone feel like getting their asses handed to them in this game?  All time favorite game- never lost.  Watch as I hit modern weapons before 1 AD.

Do you city spam like mad?

I usually do the opposite.  I concentrate on a handful of well developed cities, infrastructure, and technology.  Great for science and defense.  Then, I come rolling out tanks to get the war machine in motion.

Usually, that's the best way, and start small.  Hold your army back a bit a stock up on freighters with food supplies.  This way you can quickly get your first wave of conquered cities up to standard.

For fast nukes without wasting gold, get a city surrounded by hills mined, railroaded, etc. for production.  Don't ever worry about food there.  With a granary and freighters you can quickly drop in food to grow, and every dozen turns or so have a city bring more food to prevent population decrease.

Just a few little tricks.  Whats really dangerous is letting somebody be the Celts on large Earth map.  Optional start for a perfectionist.

Anyone want to give a game a go?
